World Peace CookiesWhat a perfect name for such a delicious cookie!

For this week's Tuesdays with Dorie selection, Jessica of cookbookhabit chose World Peace Cookies on pages 138-139 of Dorie's book, Baking: From My Home to Yours. Check out Jessica's blog for the recipe or get the awesome book!

This recipe takes just a few minutes to make...butter, cocoa powder (I used Dutch processed), baking soda, flour, vanilla, brown sugar, salt and bittersweet chocolate. Dorie suggests fleur de sel (salt) but I used Trader Joe's sea salt (with the built-in grinder). Some people had crumbly dough, but I got lucky and it came together okay. I chilled it overnight and sliced it with a sharp knife in the morning. I made half the recipe and got 20 cookies.

If you have a few minutes of mixing time, and an overnight of chilling time, make some of these yummy egg-less shortbread cookies.
